Application med January 27, iezafaenai' cits 1 Be it known that I, ALBERT F ,Spniuin'r, a citizen of the United States, residlng at I-Io- 'boken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have Invented certain new and useful Improvements in End-Flange Attachments for Horizontal Warping-Beam Rolls, of which the following is a specificatlon. i The primary-object of mg said invention is the rovision of an end ange attachment for orizontal beam rolls of textile machines, whereby the silk, cotton and wool thread may be properly beamedbefore it is wggen intcl clot I d fl" 'to th a p ying my improve ange e opp site e ends of these beam rolls, the enormous amount of paper that is now used in this beaming operation is dispensed with.

A further object of my invention resides in the rovision of sucha flange and beam rolls, w erein the same is comparatively simple of construction, substantially inexpensive of manufacture, and such a flange that may be attached to and detached from beam rolls of varying diameters in a simple and expeditious manner. k

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indi-' cate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Fi ure 1 is a front elevational view of an end ange for beam rolls constructed in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the same partly in cross section.

Figure 3 is a plan view of one of the flange sections, and

Fi re 4 is a bottom plan view of a plate mem er used in conjunction withthe flange.

With particular reference to the drawings, my device consists essentially of a relatively large, plate or disk 5 having a central enlarged o ening therein, this opening being surroun ed on its outer side by a laterally projecting collar or sleeve 6.

, As clearly shown, the flange includes an upper and lower half section A and B secured together upon the end of the beam roll openin in late'rallyiextending portions 8 forme upon opposite ends of each section of the said col ar orsleeve 6. The u per ends ofthe bolts 7 are screw threaded for receivin nuts 9.

The 0 ject of manufacturing these flanges in two sections is for the urpose of permitting the sameto be readi yplaced upon the opposite ends of the beam rolls without disturbing these rolls, that is, removing the same from their supports. Further, it is to be understood that each end of the beam roll receives one of my flanges, these flanges to be secured thereon in a manner hereinafter descrlbed at varying distances apart to .suit the operator. The under surfaceof the collar or sleeve portion of the top section A is centrally formed with an arcuate slot 10 in which is loosely received an arcuate shaped wedge plate 11, the under surface of which is knurled or milled as at 12, which arcuate plate is ada ted to be wedged into the wooden beam rol b a set screw 12' adjustable in a screw thre'a ed hole 13 in the central portion of the halfsleeve of the top section A. The lower end of this set screw 12' is pointed as at 14 for engagement with a similar shaped notch or socket in the top face of said arcuate plate.

In view of the above description, it will at once be apparent that one of these beam flanges may e provided upon opposite ends of the beam roll and retained in adjusted position thereon by forcing the knurled or milled face 12 into engagement with the face of the beam roll, and it will be further understood that these end flanges may be readily attached to or detached from these rolls in a simple and easy manner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is An end flange for beam rolls comprising a flange member havin a hub ortion disposed at the side thereo and which is adapted to be mounted upon a beam, said hub portion being provided at its interior with a recess havin rectangularly dlsposed walls,

. the side walls of the recess converging toward each other, and the end walls of the recess being parallel, a plate located in the recess and having a concaved side adapted to lie opposite the beam, said coneaved side being roughened by a series of corrugations g ween??? which lie perellelwith the side edges of the engaging the plate to force the ridges in plate, the plate having plene erellel end intimate contact with the beam transversely walls which fit snugly against t e end wells thereof and parallel with the outer face of l v of the recess, the plate having converging the flange. v 5 side edge walls which lie opposite the con- In testimony whereof ll ellix my signature verging side wellsof the recess, end n screw passing transversely through the hub end ALBERT F.
